Re: Stolen Rolex and Omega Watches

As a side note, wouldn't it be better if those members posting a stolen watch included info about whether the box and papers were also stolen, or just the naked watch? I know the chances of these watches being offered to forum members are very slim, but it's always possible.

Yes. The chances of the watch appearing HERE are slim, but how many of us look in a pawn brokers window, go in, try on...?

From there, a call to the local police would be good.

Mike.

PS: @ "DC Hogan": Will you check that these are recorded on PNC?.. Doing it twice is better than nonce.

I had a dozen or so watches stolen last year and six months later the police traced me through the Rolex which had been found buried under a hedge.
I got back the top 5 most expensive watches stolen - presumably because they couldn't be shifted quickly down the pub.

I take it you've reported the Rolex stolen at an AD?

That's good to hear!

And no, haven't reported it stolen to an AD but gave the serial number to the police and reported it to Rolex's stolen register. Lets hope they turn up one day!
